[Title] => Bombers out to check skid; Blazers hope to stay in hunt
[Summary] => Jose Rizal tries to check an alarming skid against an equally slumping Philippine Christian University today, hoping to bounce back into the upper half of the standings even as St. Benilde goes for win No. 3 in its backdoor bid to gatecrash the Final Four party in the 79th NCAA basketball tournament at the Makati Coliseum.
Like the Bombers, the Dolphins are coming off back-to-back losses but it was the former which showed so much promise in the early going only to fall apart at the start of the second round of eliminations.

[Title] => Blazers resume backdoor bid for Final Four vs Dolphins
[Summary] => St. Benilde tries to keep the momentum of its big victory over Jose Rizal College last Monday and keep its backdoor bid in the Final Four alive as it plays Philippine Christian University today in the 79th NCAA basketball tournament at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
"I’m not going to put pressure on ourselves by thinking of a sweep (of the second round) for us to still make it into the Final Four," said St. Benilde coach Tonichi Yturri.

[Title] => Aric: We need top cagers for ABC, SEAG
[Summary] => Coach Aric del Rosario is keeping the door open for the return of the UAAP stars in the Philippine team to the SEA Games and hopefully some of them to the ABC championship despite the recent UAAP board decision not to lend its players for the PBA Invitational, SEABA and ABC jousts.
"I need these talents to have a real good shot in winning the SEA Games and I also need these players if we’re to improve on our previous finish in the ABC championship," said Del Rosario.

[Title] => SSC, SBC, Mapua jockey for position
[Summary] => Defending champion San Sebastian, San Beda and Mapua seek to move closer to leader Jose Rizal as the 79th NCAA basketball tournament resumes today at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
Bunched at second spot with the Letran Knights on identical 3-2 slates, the Stags and the Red Lions collide at 4:45 p.m. while the Cardinals take on the winless St. Benilde Blazers at 1:15 p.m.
Despite coming off a close 61-63 loss to San Sebastian, Mapua is expected to hurdle St. Benilde, a team needing to overcome its habit of playing selfish individual basketball.

[Title] => UAAP Season 66 off the wraps
[Summary] => The opening rites is set at 1 p.m. with host Ateneo lining up a very unique presentation in that the eight competing schools will be represented not only by their basketball teams but the team captains of the 13 other sports disciplines in the UAAP calendar.
It will be the first time that athletes from track and field, volleyball, badminton, baseball, fencing, softball, soccer, lawn tennis, table tennis, swimming, taekwondo, chess and judo will join the opening parade as the league continues to try hard and give all the events equal exposure.

[Title] => Stags seek place in history vs Blazers
[Summary] => 
San Sebastian goes for the crown and a place in the history of the collegiate league today through a sweep of a thriller of a title series against St. Benilde in Game 2 of the 78th NCAA Finals at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
Christian Coronel carries anew the brunt of the Stags’ determined thrust at securing an 11th cage title that would level them with the San Beda Red Lions as the third winningest team behind the 14 crowns won by Letran and Ateneo.
